It would still be a good signing unless two of them are better than Bassitt.

No way do I want to lose a season. I am too old for that. It's going to to be fun meeting the Dodgers in the World Series some year and beating them.

Baseball's trueist truism.

And if you do think you have too much, you still probably don't have enough.

Sure, but it's still mostly players that were acquired from the previous administration. Nobody can say with certainty how much those players would have progressed under a different GM (and I'm not just talking about Avila). I would think that Harris had some influence on the development, but it's impossible to know how much. His acquisitions at the major league level have not particularly impressed me so far.

I was referring to the first sentence in your post.

What you qouted was about Suarez. Bassitt has not signed. I disagree that the Tigers rotation is in good shape for a team looking to make the playoffs. I'd like to see one more definite.

It does sound lke Eugenio is going to the Red Sox soon though.

I wear quarter zips too. I was just setting up my striped polo reference.

It was Ranger Suarez

Oh, I would have been excited if they got him. I'm just not too disappointed that they didn't.

Most of it is obvious to me too, except for the part about "big league roster". That is not apparent to me. I am hoping it will become more apparent soon.

I think they replaced Melton and Keider Montero.

It's reasonable, but I am leery of long-term deals for pitchers who are not elite.

Ranger Suarez to the Red Sox for 5/130. I was hoping the Tigers would pursue him, but 5 years is a long time for a pitcher who is solid but not elite. Right now, I am hoping for Bassitt. It would be another safe low risk move by Harris, but a good one.
